Optical Parking System OPS on New Touran : V4

New Touran Retrofitting OPS V4 Optical Parking System ; Self Parking

The new Touran High Line does not come with VW Self Parking OPS aka Optical Parking System V4. This latest version is found on all the High Line models such as Tiguan Rline, Passat Exclusive, etc. Strangely, this option is not on the Passat Highline or RLine but only on the Exclusive. 

After the installation, the customer is able to do the self parking of the Touran. A feature that the wife loves 101% . 

This customer indented his Touran special from VW and have it equipped with the Lane Change Assist aka Side Assist.  This option automatically compliment the OPS V4 with Blind Spot Assist.

Arrangement was done by his sales person not to install the ugly two sensor reversing warning alert fitted at VW PDI center in Tuas. That save the bumper from having extra two holes which are the wrong size. The 12 sensors of the V4 OPS was fitted on the front and rear bumpers in their original positions. 

The new control switch panel which includes the electric tailgate button (next project for the customer)

New function on HU : Parking & Maneuvering

Control of volume and pitch for the front & rear buzzer

New feature Maneuver Braking and Rear Traffic Alert aka Blind Spot Monitoring.
The new features for the V4 OPS includes the Maneuver Braking which automatically applies the brake for the vehicle should it encounter an object during low speed moving of the vehicle. This works for front and rear sensors. 


Point to note. This feature would not work during normal driving at speed or at car park speed. It is only meant for parking manuever at low speed. 


The Blind Sport or Rear Traffic Alert is explained here on my blog
